So far as I can see there is no facility for granting Badges in bulk except for via the SQL query in the Badge Edit / New Badge page at /admin/badges/
In my Discourse instances we award Badges to people for accolades or for attendance at certain events.
Quite often I find myself wanting to grant badges to a number of users. The group is otherwise arbitrary, ie there is nothing in Discourse’s database that could be used to decide if they should get the badge or not, so a SQL query can’t be used.
I can appreciate this is going to be a low priority feature request (as I reckon it’s maybe a bit of an edge case, and I’m not one of Discourse’s paying customers 🙂 ) but I thought I’d ask anyway.
A ‘grant badges’ UI which would let me add a number of users via CSV file would be awesome - something a bit like the Bulk Invite functionality would do the job.
For the time being, and to help anyone else who has the same problem, I currently grant bulk badges in the Rails console using this code:
```plaintext
# start with a list of emails as an array
# I prepare the list from a CSV list I am given of event attendees
# then I use Sublime Text to get it right, before pasting into the rails console)
emails = ["user1@example.com", "user2@example.com", "user3@example.com" ..... etc]
# initialize blank array for User objects you're going to collect
userlist = []
# find emails from the list where there is a matching User in Discourse
emails.each { |e| userlist << User.try(:where, email: e) } # the use of try avoids errors when no match is found
userlist.reject!(:&empty?) # get rid of any non-matches which are an empty entry in the array
userlist.flatten! # flatten the array by one level
# BadgeGranter requires the Badge object and the User object to be passed in as parameters
# In our case we were assigning the Badge with the id number 108
userlist.each {|u| BadgeGranter.grant ( Badge.find(108), u ) }
```
It seems to work and so far hasn’t caused any ‘undocumented features’ or killed the DB

Sounds like a nice feature. Thanks for the code, and we’re also interested in having a similar feature.

Another workaround would be to create a group dedicated to a single badge, and use the “[badge for all members of a group](https://meta.discourse.org/t/a-badge-for-all-members-of-a-group/18147)” query to give these members a badge.

Note to self: the above code should be `userlist.reject!(&:empty?)`

In the midst of manually assigning a couple of badges to a couple dozen people and missing a “list of people you want to grant this badge to” multiple user selector (+ optional reason) in the /admin/badges page for a badge. I know this is an old feature request, but wanted to acknowledge that I was looking for this feature today.

バッジの[一括付与](https://meta.discourse.org/t/award-a-badge-to-a-set-of-users/138694)ツールが新たに利用可能になりました。これが役立つかもしれません。
